I am so thankful for each day, even each hour of waiting. Really. Just last night I was listening to a sermon that Piper preached a while back about "Why a Recession" and how God uses it to root our joy in His worth, not our wealth. Am I more joyful today because I got the job that I wanted? Would I be less joyful today if I had not gotten the job? This time of waiting, for what it was, really helped me to see where my joy was located, in part, and where it needed to be rooted, and grounded. Only when my joy is rooted in God is it secure. And the times of plenty or times of less will not touch that joy. I know I will needed to be reminded of this lesson over and over, but I praise God that I can say my affection for Him grew just as much or even more while waiting on Him than when all was provided for us.
I am SO excited to see what is in store at Children's Memorial!
